My wife and I spent a week in Oom's Bangkok apartment. Great location and convenient to the sky train. We never met her but Aoey was our contact and she was very kind and responsive. The security guard at the door was helpful and friendly and check in was smooth and easy. Spotless and comfortable it was great to come back to at night. This is not a neighborhood but more of a business district but it still had everything you might need in walking distance. A grocery store right next door along with an assortment of retaurants, money exchange and ATMs, a 7 11 in the building. Walk down the street a bit and cross the pedestrian bridge and across from the apartment are some little eating places. The train stop was only 2 stops from the Sathorn pier making many tourist sites easy to get to. In case it's important to you there were no English language channels on the tv (no BBC or CNN International)but the internet connection was great so it was easy to keep up with news from home. We would absolutely stay in Oom's apartment again should we return to Bangkok. You should too!
